New Laws Impacting Manufacturers: Temporary Labor Service Act & Equal Pay Act
Two bills that passed the Illinois General Assembly this spring have been sent to Governor Pritzker for his signature and will have major implications for Illinois manufacturers, who will need to know how to comply with these pending laws.
HB 2862 amends the Day and Temporary Labor Service Act and will impact manufacturers who utilize staffing and temp agencies. Among other things, the bill requires businesses to provide staffing agencies with detailed information about the job positions, and then requires that temporary employees be paid the same rate as other employees after 90 days of service. The bill also prevents staffing and temp agencies from assigning job seekers to facilities who may be dealing with a strike or lockout, giving the job seekers a right of refusal for placement.
HB 3129 amends the Illinois Equal Pay Act regarding information provided by employers in job posting. The bill requires manufacturers to include a pay scale and disclose benefits in all open job postings.
Join IMA Vice President of Government Affairs, Donovan Griffith, and Labor and Employment Attorney (and IMA HR Forum Moderator) Scott Cruz, as they review each bill and provide guidance for manufacturers on compliance. Learn how the IMA fought against changes to the staffing law and led negotiations on the job posting bill to make it easier for Illinois manufacturers to comply with the coming changes.
